TENNIS : europe on horseback [bleep 03]
TENNIS is Benge (real name Ben Edwards) and Si-{cut}.db (real name
Douglas Benford), two renown solo sonic artists in their own
rights. Tennis is part of an on-going London based collaboration
exploring digital and electro-acoustic sounds and rhythms combined
with 21st century audio software.
"Wooden Sweets" was the first Tennis release on the Cologne label
ElectroChemicalResearch.
The second album is entitled "Europe on Horseback", and shows a
progression of the "Tennis sound" into a harder more digital/glitchy
but accesible rhythmic realm, with dub and german influences to the
fore. A must for faans of Pole, Vlad Delay and Kit Clayton...
In May :
SPACEHADS and MAX EASTLEY : the time of the ancient astronaut. Universal
head expander vol.1[bleep 04]
From the first sound a different and special magic was evoked, captured
in one afternoon on this recording. Haunting trumpet melodies over soft
drones and textures sets the mood.
This slowly mutates to a world of high opera and tipsy beats that then
cascades with a metallic pounding. The music takes on cinematic
proportions as the terrain unfolds. Interstellar landscapes are
revealed. This is improvisation as a battle between the done and the
possible.
MAX EASTLEY plays The Arc. A nine foot long mono chord. One string
stretched over wood and played with a bow or glass rods. The pitch is
changed by flexing the wood. The string can also be shortened with
clips. It is then fed into electronic effects.
The SPACEHEADS is a duo mixing trumpet and electronics with drums and
percussion. Plaintive trumpet calls are looped across pulsing beats that
propel us into sheets of metal crashing and vibrating through tiny pick
ups cranked to the full and then spun into electronic webs.
unconventional sound adventures, adventurous & creative electronica.
